hi all!

i'm an awk newbie and have been trying in vain to merge two files together.

ie.

file1.txt:

a b c
e f g
h i j

file2.txt:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

i want to end up with:

a b c 1 2 3
d e f 4 5 6
h i j 7 8 9

so basically i want to append every line in file2.txt to every line in file1.txt

in a previous thread (http://www.dbforums.com/t999021.html) it mentions the use of AWK to do this, i've been looking all over the internet trying to find a way to do this as i have no idea how to go about it!

can someone help?
thanku!

i didnt realize that one of the replies to a similar problem to mine was actually a command, eek!

anyway for those who may browse this, this is the solution!
as seen in: http://www.dbforums.com/t999021.html

paste file1.txt file2.txt > file3.txt

(for those who didnt know like me, 'paste' is actually a command!


ciao!

ps. no this is not an awk solution, but it works great and is simple so ...
